NUMBER II.

ONE Of the tboughtIesS things
witnessed every day, says an ex-
change, is that of the most fas-
tidious lady taking a coin from her
purse and holding it between the
lips until glove is adjusted or the
conductor calls for his fare. The
lady seems to forget that the small
coin in daily circulation passes
through a variety of hands, all the
way from the soap grease collector
to the saloon. People with every
form of even loathsome disease not
only handle but carry them in their
pockets, and there is not a doubt
but disease Of q contagious char
acter are often conveyed by the con
tents Of the pocketbook The
danger is not perhaps, sufficient to
call for fumigation, but it is enough
TO make careful people keep nickels
aud dimes from their mouths. The
practice Of wetting the finger from
the mouth in counting paper money
is altogether bad, because of actual
daugerof incubation Of disease. L'r.

that two hundred and seventy head
of cattle have been dehorned in that
vicinity during the last week. VIM.
Ellsworth, the Linlay Brothers, b.
N. Meigs and a gentleman of Mazo-
Mamie, beirg the dehorners. Meigs'
herd of forty was dehorned on Mon
day last and all are apparently doing
exceedingly well. No soreness
seems to exist although one week
has not yet passed since the amputa-
tion was performed. They eat, chew
their cud and allow their heads to
be handled as if there was no sore
ness whatever, and the dehorners
say that little pain was manifested
during the operation. We are not
ourselves a convert to the dehorning
business, but have given the facts as
we found them to be. The milk
yield will test the value of the new
departure, financially, during the
coming season.

IT will be remembered that in
1880 two little boys named Parish
were started from Drybone near
Montfort, for Mineral Point in the
night, with q load Of zinc ore. The
next morning the wagon was found
upset IN the cut where the G.. 81 n
w. road crosses the highway, west
of Cobb station, and underneath the
load OF ore the dead bodies of the
boys were found. The father sued
the town of Eden for damages and
won the suit. The town afterwards
sued the G. IL N. w. Co., and OBJ
tanned a Judgment against the
latter for the amount necessary to
reimburse the town for the amount
of Judgment and costs it had to
pay in the former. The case was
appealed to the Supreme Court
which affirmed the judgment. On
the l4th inst, the c. 81 n. w. Co.
paid the town S5,925.62 in salts
faction of the judgment, Out Of
this the town will have to pay about
$40 as clerks and witness fees, all
other costs in the case having been
paid by the railroad company, in
cluding taxable attorney fees.

BABY HUI MORS
And all Skin and Scalp Dis
eases Speedily Cured
by Cuticura.

Our little son will be years of age on the
18th inst In May, 1885, he was attacked
with very painful breaking out of the skin.
We called in physician, who treated him
for about four weeks. The child received
little or no good from the treatment. as the
breaking out, supposed by. the physician to
be hives in an aggravated form, became
larger in blotches, and more and more dis
tressing We were frequently obliged to
get up in the night and rub him with soda
in water. strong liniments, etc. Finally, we
called other physicians, until no less than
six had attempted to cure him, all alike
falling, and the child steadily getting worse
and worse, until about the Doth of last July,
when we began to give him CUTIGURA RE.
SOLVENT internally, and the CUTICURA, and
CUTICURA SOAP externally, and by the last
of August he was so nearly well that we
gave him only one dose of the REsoLvENr
about every second day, for about ten days
longer, and he has never been troubled since
with the horrible malady. In all we used
less than one-half of bottle of CUTIcURA
REsoLvENT, q little less than one box of
CUTICURA, and only one cake of CUTICURA
SOAP. H. E. RYAN,
